CORK-HOLDER.

SPECIFICA'I'ION forming part of Letters Patent No. 351,680I dated October 26. 1886.

Application filed March 30, 1886. Serial No. 197,167. (X model.)

new and useful Improvements in Gork-Holdi i ers, of which the following is a specification,

reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Fignre l 1s an elevation of a bottle and stopper having an attachment' for secnring the stopper to the outside of the'bottle When removed from its month. Fig. 2 is a like View, partly sectional, .showing the bottle unstoppered and the stopper attached to the outside or edge of the bottle-month. Fig. 3 is a like view showing operation of ponring when stopper is attachedto bottle, as described. Fig. 4 is an elevation of the holder attachment for the'stopper. Fig. 5 is an elevtion showing a modified form of holder secured to a stopper, the latter being in section. Fig. 6 is an elevation of another form of holder attachment for the stopper.

My invention has for its object to provide an attachment for stoppers or corks of bottles for securing or attaching thecork or stopper to the bottle When removed from its month or .neck,so as to avoid losing or mislaying a cork a lateral hook or finger, c, which parts may be made of a single piece of wire, as shown i in Fig. 4,01' the ring c may be loosely secnred or jointed to the hook 02 and end c' to turn down out of the way in packing the bottles.

-Instead of screwing the attachment O into the cork, its Wire end c' may bewithout coils or screw-threads and passed through the cork and have its end tnrnednp, as shown at a, Fig. 2. The hook or finger c2 is preferably of such a length that it extends beyond'the cork, so that when the latter is. removed from the bottle the hook c2 serves for attaching the `cork ;to the month edge of the bottle, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. ln this position the cork does not interfere with ponring from the bottle or filling it, and the cork cannot be mislaid or lost during said Operations.

VVhile I have shown the ring c, I do not limit myself thereto, as it may be dispensed with. Again, I do not confine my invention to any particular form of hook or lip c, as it may be Varionsly made and arranged with ref-
